[Q] Wifi Bounce - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Have had my Nexus 5 since Monday and the wifi at work keeps bouncing, turning itself off then on intermittently. At home and other locations this does not happen. On my old Galaxy S3 this does not happen, I've even had the phone next to each other and can see Nexus 5 wifi turn on/off while S3 doesn't change.
I've tried disabling NFC, turned off wifi optimization, forgot and re-added wifi network, switched Nexus 5 wifi from auto to 5ghz then to 2.4ghz.
At the office we use Cisco aironet access point.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Losing Google Connection on WiFi

At home, when connected to WiFi, I seem to lose the connection to Google, for example for Google Talk. My WiFi connection is strong, but if I leave my phone for 10 minutes, when I turn the screen on the WiFi indicator is white and I have to open Google Talk to get it to then connect.
Wifi policy is set to never sleep. When on regular data connection I have no problem.
I'm on CM RC4 with Netarcy 1.3.2 and I also recently got a new wireless router as an AP for my bedroom, so I wonder if it's to do with settings within that?
Anyone with any ideas?
Old thread, same Problem. Anybody solved this?

WiFi Tether Router, WiFi disconnects

So I'm attempting to use WiFi tether router. I'm on stock OF6 rooted. It works for approximately 10-20 minutes and then the WiFi on my phone toggles off. WiFi tether router stays on but of course, ceases functioning. Any ideas?
I have keep WiFi on during sleep set to always and everything else in advanced unchecked. I've tried the two WiFi options in WiFi tether router on and off. I have sprint connection optimizer turned off.
I'm having the same problem, it keeps disconnecting after several minutes. The phone shows the WiFi Tether Router running normally, but it disconnects from my iPad and disappears from my list of wireless networks. If I disable and restart, it again works for several minutes, then disconnects
Sprint Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport
Did anyone ever find a solution to this problem ????

WiFi keeps cutting off after a while, no matter what app.

Tab 2 rooted w/cwm CM11 since forever see IMG.
Wifi goes out, have to toggle off/on then it stays on for a while again. Sometimes its on for 30 to 45 mins and sometimes it cuts out after 10 mins.
Could wifi doohicky be worn out?
No battery saver app running, just greenify. Tab has minimal apps running and 2 games, have not added apps for over a year.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Thinking about reflashing rom, maybe it got stale, it's been about 2yrs since last flash.

Solved/ :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:
My issue was not the tablet or OS/firmware, the problem was my WiFi router.
Running a netgear N600 DB WiFi router with multiple devices connected via Ethernet cable and WiFi signal throughout the house, all other devices worked properly with no issues whatsoever when it came to internet access.
Yet tablet kept disconnecting or loosing signal and would have to toggle WiFi off/on to get it started again. Never suspected router because all other devices worked properly with no signal strength loss or degradation.
After monkeying around with tab with no solution I decided to restart router, had nothing to lose, whatever, and as soon as I restarted router issue was gone, turn on WiFi and it stays on until I turn it off, even if tablet is idle for days, I wake it and WiFi connects immediately.
Now the router was having some signal issue with just the tab and nothing else,I also have two other devices connected that are similar in age and technology to this tab and these showed no signal issues whatsoever.
So the moral of the story is, don't discount your router just because everything else is working properly with the router and network.
Now my tab has to see a therapist because I called it "a piece of $#it" and it wasn't even the tabs fault.

my S7 edge was running all good
but recently i found that when i connect to the Wifi it will swap between Wifi and 4G randomly
i already turned off the smart switch function but problem is still there.

Sounds like you have a problem with either the router in the house disconnecting, or the phone can't keep WiFi enabled

wifi connection problemp - solved

We have set up a WiFi router at our summer house and all devices bar my OnePlus 8 connects without problem to the WiFi. My phone connects to the WiFi but not the internet. Have restarted the phone and removed and added the WiFi connection but no luck. Any idea what's going on?
I had this problem with my oneplus 8, European version, where at times internet connection would drop, but wifi was still connected so the phone was in effect blocked since I use VoWiFi both voice calls and data was blocked.
The problem turned out to be between my router and the oneplus 8. I had to go into the settings of the router and disable a feature called "band steering". This setting will make the two different wifi gateways inside the router, the 2.4 ghz and the 5 ghz appear as one and the same with the same SSID name. This is supposed to simplify setting up devices with wifi but is known to cause problems sometimes.
As soon as I had separated the two and given them different names, I no longer have a problem with internet access dropping from the wifi.
I have no idea where the fault happens, I only know that I have had to disable band steering with another router I had before. I think this feature might be a bit unstable.
No idea what's happened but this morning it just worked.
